Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Broadway Auto Row

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.

73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,145, 8% above the Oakland average.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Oakland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #2,339 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
